When Bung Karno Has Russian Air Defense SA-2 Defense Missile, British Nuclear Bomber Plane Does Not Dare To Attack Jakarta
When Indonesia and Malaysia were involved in the conflict, followed by the declaration of the Ganyang Malaysia slogan, open war between Indonesia and Malaysia was ready to erupt.
To prepare for its combat power, Indonesia, which subsequently held Operation Dwikora, formed an army consisting of volunteers and a coalition of TNI / Polri forces.
Malaysia which in the conflict was immediately fully supported by the British military actually had a military force that is difficult to balance Indonesia.
Britain itself declared no kidding to defend Malaysia. Moreover, Britain also threatened to bomb Jakarta directly using long-range nuclear bombers, Avro Vulcan.
To bomb Jakarta, Britain at that time was not going to use nuclear bombs, but conventional bombs considering Vulcan could carry a bomb with a total weight of up to 45,000 kg.
As a long-range bomber and can travel more than 4000 km, Vulcan, then based in Darwin, Australia, could easily 'slaughter' Jakarta.
But President Sukarno was not afraid of the threat of British Vulcan bombers, because Jakarta at that time already has a strong air defense system in the form of long-range missiles SA-2 Guideline purchased from Russia
